    Mint chocolate and pink…

    Love this color combo. Makes me think of yummy treats.

    See…I have been working a on few things. Just slower to finish any of them during the summer. Too many other fun things to do like go to the beach with the kids.

    Missing Tea

    I never realized that I’d be busy over summer.
    Honestly, I don’t know where the times goes.
    I’m afraid my Tea Tuesday friends from Kimmie’s blog may have forgotten about me or worse, thought I forgot about them.
    I’m skipping the tea for today and going for a big glass of ice water.
    We’ve had so much rain here. Now high temps and humidity…with more storms due tonight.

    My garden is mud…
    Luckily the plants aren’t seeming to mind.

    I’ve got tomatoes on every plant.

    In addition to gardening, I’ve been “home-schooling” this summer. Trying to keep the kids brains engaged so they can retain the info they’ve already learned. 

    Other craft goodness has been on the agenda as well. 
    We just came home from knitting group… 
    And I’ve been sewing as well. 
    So I guess when you add up everything going on, it’s not to difficult to see where the time went. 
    What’s keeping you busy this summer?

    Postcard Challenge week 13

    After having to take a couple weeks off from Darcy’s challenge, I’m back with my…or shall we say…Maggie’s postcard and page. 
    Maggie continues to send her drawings or paintings to Thadeus.

     
    She writes:
    Thadeus-
      Please let me know that you are alright. You haven’t responded to the letter I sent from my Aunt’s home. I had to skip my adventure to The Netherlands to care for the poor dear after her fall.
      I am having a wonderful cup of coffee here in Istanbul. Next I am off to explore the Grand Market. I know it will be a feast for the senses.
      Please write.       Warmly- Maggie

    So that’s why there was no postcard from the Netherlands.  
    *wink*

    My page has a small “mug rug” and some stained shipping tags. Maggie must have found some fun things to send home at the Grand Bazaar.
    The pocket is from a chunk of altered fabric given to me by Belinda Spiwak years ago. I think it adds just the right pop of color and texture.
